Our Projects
Our programs offer the best of assistance to kids in need.
We distribute donations to high priority aid to insure we do the best job in helping those in most need of care.
Nicaragua
We are currently working in Somoto, Nicaragua in partnership with a local charity called Jardin del Ninyos (children of the garden) led by Pastor Carlos Baez and his family. It started with several children being rescued from living on the local garbage dump, and has grown into the building of a home, education, feeding programs in the neighboring villages and establishment of micro businesses. It is our privilege to be able to support and serve this organization, as we have seen firsthand the good they are doing and the future they are giving the children under their care.
Journey to Home
Journey to Home is an adoption grant fund. We at KIC are passionate about seeing orphans adopted into families. We know that adoption can be a financial burden on families, and it is our desire to elevate some of that burden as funds are available.
Please contact us for more information; we are currently working on an application process.
Lily’s Hope
Lily’s hope is our newest project inspired by our executive director, Chris and his wife Rachel’s adopted daughter Lily. Lily was adopted from China at the age of 2 ½ weighing 13 lbs, she was unable to sit, talk, and only drank from a bottle. She has a congenital heart defect and significant developmental delays. The last three years have been a journey full of hope, struggles and amazing accomplishments, involving therapies, many doctors’ appointments, and open heart surgery. Lily can now walk, she is thriving physically, and although is delayed developing is progressing at her pace, and most importantly is happy.
KICDRUM+ARTS
KICDRUM is a school-based therapeutic intervention modeled that is based on the award-winning Australian program Drumbeat. Drumbeat is an evidence-based intervention that uses drums as a therapeutic tool to get participants involved and working together towards a common goal, challenging each other and above all having fun.
KICDRUM will creatively inspire participants and build their self-esteem as students interact with each other during the 10 week sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to perform for their peers and parents at the end of the sessions. KICDRUM will address issues facing today’s classrooms in a creative and supportive environment.
